Backyard Disneyland
Gone is the little boy afraid of the yard. Ian has long forgotten whatever it was that caused him anxiety about being outside without a tight grip on mom or dad's hand. I think we can partially thank daycare and their almost daily outings to the play area (despite last week's blacktop tragedy).
We had yet another nice day today and barely stopped inside after school/work to drop off the day's report card before heading to the backyard. Every outing brings new things to discover and some that he is learning to make peace with. Plants are becoming less of an enemy and rocks are his new best friends. He is still a bit apprehensive about the Buddha statue, but I'm sure the day will come that he figures out that he's Happy Buddha and nothing to fear.
Ian giving Shawn a kiss.
Ready to touch the bamboo, but not completely trusting yet. See the skepticism in his eyes?
Fear of the groundcover is a thing of the past
Pointing at something
He used a bowling swing to throw this rock
It was really only a few days ago that he was petrified of the river rock area....Also Polli's "business district", meaning I have to stay on top of my "package pick ups".
Thanks for the video. It was great to see Ian in action. The last time we saw him he wasn't even walking. Maybe Ian thinks plants are alive because the wind makes them move. It is obvious he shows alot of respect for Mr. Happy Budha. Keep the videos coming!!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! It's a whole new world for Ian LOL he's so freaking cute. And seriously thank you for making me laugh with your photo captions , thats why this is my fave blog, you're hilarious! And have I mentioned how much Ian's wardrobe RULES? stylish little guy
ReplyDeleteHe is walking sooooooo good. It is amazing how quick these lil' guys pick up things. Do you have a friend in the glass business? Ian is getting quite an arm there, maybe he wants to pitch for the Mariners. Just watch the windows!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of him giving Dad a kiss is PRICELESS!!!!! Aunt Jo
